Ho Wan Kwok, et al., No. 23 Cr. 118 (AT)\n\nDear Judge Torres:\n\nWe represent Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as the Chapter 11 Trustee\") appointed in the voluntary chapter 11 case (the \"Bankruptcy Case\") of defendant Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\") pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Bankruptcy Court\"). We write in reference to the Debtor's Motion for an Order and Writ Staying Bankruptcy Cases or in the Alternative for Other Relief [ECF No. 129] (the \"Stay Motion\") and co-defendant Yvette Wang's joinder in such motion.\n\nThe Trustee respectfully believes the Bankruptcy Court is the only court that has jurisdiction to consider a stay of the Bankruptcy Case under 28 U.S.C. § 1334 and that the Debtor's filing of the Stay Motion in this Court violates the automatic stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. § 362. Accordingly, on September 1, 2023, the Trustee filed the attached emergency motion in the Bankruptcy Court, asking the Bankruptcy Court to enforce the automatic stay and enjoin the Debtor from further prosecution of the Stay Motion. The Trustee has asked for the Stay Motion to be heard on September 6, 2023, or as soon as the Bankruptcy Court is available.\n\nTo be clear, the Trustee's motion does not ask the Bankruptcy Court to enjoin the alternative relief sought in the Stay Motion to the extent such relief has properly been presented to this Court. In particular, the Trustee has no objection to the Debtor's request for an order modifying the protective order in this case to permit the sharing of information with the Trustee.\n\nIn the event the Bankruptcy Court does not grant the Trustee's motion, or has not ruled on such motion prior to the deadline of September 21, 2023 this Court has set for the Government to file any response to the Stay Motion, the Trustee respectfully requests the opportunity to file a response to the Stay Motion by September 21 and to be heard at any hearing on such motion.\n\nRespectfully Submitted,\n\nBy September 21, 2023, the Trustee may file his opposition papers.\n\nSO ORDERED.\n\nDated: September 7, 2023 New York, New York\n\nCursive signature flourish\n\nANALISA TORRES United States District Judge","body_zh":"文件 138\n\nUSDC SDNY（纽约南区联邦地区法院）电子归档文件 编号： 归档日期：9/7/2023\n\n1 (202) 551-1902 nicholasbasset@paulhastings.com\n\n2023年9月2日\n\n通过 ECF 送达\n\n尊敬的 Analisa Torres（阿纳丽莎·托雷斯）\n美国联邦地区法官\nSouthern District of New York（纽约南区）\n\n事由：United States v.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），其身份为在被告 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（下称“债务人”）于 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格区美国破产法院）（下称“破产法院”）待决的自愿第 11 章案件（下称“破产案件”）中被指定的第 11 章受托人（下称“受托人”）。我们谨就债务人的《关于申请中止破产案件的命令及令状或在备选方案中申请其他救济的动议》[ECF No. 129]（下称“中止动议”）以及共同被告 Yvette Wang（王雁平）对该动议的附议致信本院。\n\n受托人恭谨地认为，根据 28 U.S.C. § 1334，破产法院是唯一有管辖权考虑中止破产案件的法院，且债务人向本院提交中止动议违反了 11 U.S.C. § 362 施加的自动中止规定。因此，2023年9月1日，受托人向破产法院提交了附呈的紧急动议，请求破产法院执行自动中止，并发布禁令禁止债务人继续推进中止动议。受托人已请求于2023年9月6日或破产法院可行的时间尽早就中止动议举行听证。\n\n需要明确的是，受托人的动议并未请求破产法院禁止中止动议中所寻求的备选救济，只要该等救济已适当地向本院提出。特别是，受托人对债务人关于修改本案保护令以允许与受托人共享信息的命令申请不持异议。\n\n如果破产法院未批准受托人的动议，或在本院为政府提交对中止动议的任何答复所设定的截止日期2023年9月21日之前尚未对该动议作出裁定，受托人恭谨地请求获得在9月21日之前提交对中止动议的答复并在该动议的任何听证会上陈述意见的机会。\n\n谨呈，\n\n受托人可在2023年9月21日之前提交其反对意见书。\n\n特此裁定。\n\n日期：2023年9月7日\n纽约州纽约市\n\n草书签名花体\n\nANALISA TORRES（阿纳丽莎·托雷斯）\n美国联邦地区法官","key_entities":["Torres","Kwok","Ho Wan Kwok","Analisa Torres","Despins","Je"],"ecf_references":[{"doc_number":129,"court":"SDNY"}],"word_count":410,"status":"published","published_at":"2023-09-07 00:00:00","created_at":"2023-09-07","updated_at":"2026-08-23 07:20:56"}
